David Gilmour Stratocaster®
David Gilmour and the Fender Custom Shop are extremely proud to bring you the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster. Gilmour’s famous
“Black Strat” was a cornerstone of the Pink Floyd sound of the 1970s and early ’80s; featured extensively on The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You
Were Here, Animals, The Wall and acclaimed 2006 solo album On an Island. The Fender Custom Shop worked closely with Gilmour and his longtime
guitar technician, Phil Taylor, to create his signature model, a reproduction of the Black Strat complete with its unmistakable look, sound and feel.
Featuring an alder body with a black nitrocellulose lacquer fi nish and black pickguard, one-piece maple neck, custom pickups, and Gilmour’s own
distinctive electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm, the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster is as beautiful, powerful and individual as
Gilmour’s playing. Additionally, the guitar comes with a custom case, Evidence Audio™ high-end guitar cable, and Gilmour’s three-disc Live in Gdansk
CD/DVD package.

Rory Gallagher Stratocaster®
Fender Custom Shop designers met Donal Gallagher, brother of late great guitarist Rory Gallagher, in Los Angeles in 1997 and received
one of the most coveted guitars of all time - Gallagher’s heavily worn 1961 Stratocaster®. Fender initially built 40 replicas for European sale,
but was subsequently besieged with requests for more. The Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster guitar is an exact replica of that revered
instrument, down to the extremely worn Three-color Sunburst alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. It even has five Sperzel®
tuners and one Gotoh® tuner, and the 12th-fret dot marker is white plastic rather than the original clay. It also features three custom-wound
’60s single-coil pickups, aged chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. Our homage to a true and truly missed master.

Sean Hurley 1961 Precision Bass®
Bassist Sean Hurley has certainly made his mark in L.A., playing bass on tour and on record for John Mayer while maintaining an astonishing pace
as an in-demand studio bassist with artists including Ringo Starr, Annie Lennox, Robin Thicke, Alanis Morissette, Vertical Horizon and Colbie Caillat.
Hurley also anchored Mayer’s Born and Raised (2012) and Paradise Valley (2013) with his well-worn ’61 Fender Precision Bass.
The Fender Custom Shop has replicated Hurley’s favorite Precision Bass in three colors—Three-color Sunburst, Olympic White and Charcoal Frost.
And when we were spec’ing out Hurley’s original bass, we noticed a piece of foam he’d stued under the strings in front of the bridge to deaden them,
so we designed a special Fender string mute that can easily be engaged at any time during a song—a feature never before oered on a Fender bass.

YuriyShishkov
From handcrafting many of his own
From handcrafting many of his own
woodworking tools to showcasing his
world-class luthier skills and custom
inlay work, Yuriy Shishkov is truly one
of the last of the renaissance guitar
builders. It was in the small confines
of a root cellar in his hometown of
Gomel in the former Soviet Union
that Shishkov got his start building
guitars for friends and colleagues.
When he arrived in the United States in
1990, Shishkov settled in the Chicago
area and collaborated with a range
of top artists, including late shredder
Dimebag Darrell of Pantera, Jimmy Page
and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Nuno
Bettencourt, Robin Zander of Cheap
Trick and Paul Stanley of Kiss. Shishkov
joined the Fender Custom Shop’s Master
Builder team in 2000 and has crafted
truly magnificent instruments featuring
exquisite detail and inlay work.
JasonSmith
A Custom Shop veteran and son of longtime
Fender R&D legend Dan Smith, Jason Smith
grew up on Fender—“It has always been in my
family,” he said, “And I was always extremely
interested in everything my father did.”
Born in Rochester, N.Y., and raised in California,
Smith remembers meeting guitar greats from
about age fi ve on through his father’s work
with Fender—Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen,
Je Beck and Robben Ford, to name only a
few. He went to his fi rst big rock concert at
age six—Rush—and Smith remembers going
backstage with his dad and meeting Geddy
Lee after the show. Before he was even in
his teens, Smith was going to see Pink Floyd,
ZZ Top and many other major artists.
Rock music and Fender are part of his DNA. Smith
joined the Fender Custom Shop in 1995, and in
2006 completed a fi ve-year apprenticeship under
acclaimed Senior Master Builder John English.
Among many diverse projects with English, Smith
worked on a pair of double-neck Stratocaster
guitars for Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean
DeLeo. He has since crafted fi ne instruments
for players and acts including John 5, Michael
Landau, Flea, Josh Klingho er, Geddy Lee, Steve
Harris, Reggie Hamilton, Linkin Park, Kenny
Wayne Shepherd, Neon Trees and many others.
PaulWaller
Master Builder Paul Waller is a Southern
California native with woodworking and guitar
making in his blood. He built his fi rst guitar at
age 14 in his high school woodshop, joined
a cabinet shop right out of high school and,
after a stint at a small Southern California
guitar maker, enrolled at the acclaimed
Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix,
from which he graduated in spring 2000.
Waller joined Fender in 2003 fresh from his
training at Roberto-Venn. He spent two years
working closely with master arch-top craftsman
Bob Benedetto, and became steeped in the
many facets of building techniques from all
the Custom Shop’s Master Builders. After
an extensive seven-year apprenticeship,
Waller became a Master Builder in 2010.
His Fender Custom Shop work has included
bass guitars for U2’s Adam Clayton, a custom
Thinline Telecaster for U2 vocalist Bono,
Telecasters for Rolling Stones guitarist Keith
Richards and co-work on a Stratocaster
for fellow Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood,
Stratocasters for Buddy Guy, the Nile Rodgers
“Hitmaker” Stratocaster, and a custom
double-neck Jazzmaster for Queens Of the
Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen.
DaleWilson
Dale Wilson arrived at Fender in 2003, joined
the Custom Shop in 2005 and became a Master
Builder in 2011. Building guitars has been a
driving passion for the California native since
childhood. “Ever since I can remember, I’ve
always loved guitars,” he said. “I didn’t dream
of being a rock star; I dreamed of building the
ultimate guitar. I was equally enthralled with the
guitars just as much as I was with the players.”
Woodworking runs in the Wilson family, and
the requisite Custom Shop zeal for outstanding
craftsmanship has long been part of Dale’s DNA.
He did repair work and mods in a small guitar
shop right out of high school in the late 1980s;
subsequently moving on to stints at Dobro and
Rickenbacker before arriving at Fender, where
he worked on Guild, Gretsch and Benedetto
guitars before beginning his apprenticeship
with various Custom Shop Master Builders.
He enjoys calling upon his extensive and varied
experience as a craftsman to create highly
distinctive guitars such as the Resophonic
Thinline Telecaster. Wilson also built fi ve beautiful
custom guitars for the January 2011 NAMM
Show while still an apprentice and was asked to
signed the back of the headstocks, after which he
became a Fender Custom Shop Master Builder.

ToddKrause
Todd Krause has built exquisitely crafted
custom instruments for many of the world’s
greatest artists, including Je Beck, Eric
Clapton, Bob Dylan, David Gilmour, Robbie
Robertson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robin
Trower, Roger Waters and many others.
His guitar-building apprenticeship began
in early 1981 at Jackson/Charvel guitars.
Krause arrived at Fender in 1991 and steadily
rose through several roles, including
one-o instrument builder, R&D model
maker, and woodworking machinist. He
became a Custom Shop Master Builder
in 1997 and has since created countless
distinctive instruments, all of which
embody his personal design philosophy:
“Form and function are the biggest part
of it,” he said. “It’s about the way an
instrument sounds and feels. It has to look
cool, and it has to compel you to play.”
DennisGaluszka
Like Fender itself, Dennis Galuszka is a
Southern California native. Combining his
dual passions for music and woodworking,
he began building high-end acoustic guitars
during his 13 years as a cabinetmaker.
As a working drummer, it was a 1999
audition with one of the Fender Master
Builders that led to a job interview
and a new kind of steady gig—as an
apprentice at the Fender Custom Shop.
After only eight months there, Galuszka
was promoted to Master Builder. He has
since built fi nely crafted instruments for
infl uential players including Paul McCartney,
Andy Summers, Johnny Marr, Patrick
Stump, Mike Dirnt, Sting and many others.
He has lent his expertise to a number of
truly distinctive instruments, including
double-neck guitars and unusual takes
on classic Fender designs, and several
artist model designs. “It’s all about
the feel and sound of an instrument,”
Galuszka said. “Those things are number
one with me, above everything else.”
GregFessler
Greg Fessler came to the Fender
Custom Shop in 1990, working his way
up through the ranks as an apprentice.
He assisted with the Robben Ford
signature line of guitars, eventually
becoming the sole builder of those
instruments and, later, Ford’s personal
builder. Fessler has built one-off
Stratocaster and Telecaster models
for a host of players, including Joe
Bonnamasa, Jeff Healey, Hank Marvin,
John Mayer, Rhonda Smith, Neil Schon
and Pete Wentz, to name only a few.
Fessler’s remarkable abilities as
a Master Builder have earned him
accolades from many Fender artists and
from discerning customers worldwide.
His meticulous attention to detail is
exemplified in every instrument he
creates, each of which is a perfect
example of the intense commitment it
takes to earn the title of Master Builder.
JohnCruz
John Cruz came to Fender in 1987, joined
the Custom Shop in 1993 and became a
Master Builder in 2003. Being a guitarist and
understanding what a great guitar should
look, feel and sound like has always been a
top priority for him. Custom guitars are his
passion, and he is the man behind several
famous Custom Shop instruments, including
the replica of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s famous
“Number One” Stratocaster guitar, the Je
Beck Esquire Relic (as used with the Yardbirds),
the replica of Yngwie Malmsteen’s famous
“Duck” Stratocaster, the John Mayer Limited
Edition Black 1 Stratocaster and many others.
John has built fantastic guitars for players
such as Doug Aldrich (Dio, Whitesnake), Dave
Amato and Bruce Hall (REO Speedwagon),
Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), Richie Sambora (Bon
Jovi), Bono (U2), Du McKagan (Guns N’ Roses,
Velvet Revolver), Ike Turner, Brad Whitford
(Aerosmith), Je Beck, John Mayer and
countless others. Further, his meticulous work
was essential to all aspects of the initial Custom
Shop Relic guitars and basses, and he initiated
the Custom Shop’s quality assurance program.
